So I pulled my carbons out the other day to look over them before my race on Saturday.Obviously they were flat; however upon feeling the tyres, there is a hard patch in one - about 6mm in length. I assume this is where the sealant has settled where I've been a bit lazy with maintaining air pressure and turning the wheels? is there any way to fix this?

That is one of the reasons I don't like sealant for tubulars. Really nothing you can do about it now, but I doubt it will make that much difference to your race. The other alternative would be to replace the tube, but that seems like overkill.

The "solvent" in most sealants is glycol based-rv antifreeze is safe and works well-long thread on the mtbr board by some chemists about homebrew solvents. Not sure if you can dissolve a latex "booger" but worth a shot.
